What Kind Of Monster Is That?

It’s really hard to sneak your chaweenie into your son’s basketball game when she is screaming like a wild gremlin and kicking around like I just kidnapped her from an all you can eat doggie treat party. Children were looking at me and wondering what kind of monster I had in my purse. NAUGHTY JUNEBUG!!!

That’s the message someone scribbled on a photo of Stacy May Charms’ six-year-old son, two days before her release from prison.

Stacy knows why. She doesn’t know who.

And she’s not waiting around to find out. Her plan is to grab her child and run.

Elizabeth McClaine has no idea why Stacy ran, but she intends to find out. Contracted to oversee the governor’s early release program for young incarcerated mothers, she is responsible for the program’s first successful applicant. But when Stacy May breaks parole only two hours after her release, Elizabeth is flung into social and political exile, her reputation in ruins.

If she is to clear her name and save Stacy May, she must figure out what Stacy knows, and who she’s running from.

And all the clues point back to those who were supposed to be saving her.

The Elizabeth McClaine thrillers are additions to the great action and character-driven mystery and suspense thrillers in the tradition of J.D. Robb, Faye Kellerman, and Mary Higgins Clark.
